After SBF Got 25 Years Salame Got 90 Months then Motion now Michelle Bond Wants Separate


by Matthew Russell Lee

SDNY COURTHOUSE, Aug 27 – On the US v Sam Bankman-Fried trial, hours after the guilty verdict, a book was published: "Crypto Criminal: The Conviction of Sam Bankman-Fried: As live tweeted and investigated from inside the SDNY courthouse by Matthew Russell Lee," audio/book here.

  On March 28, 2024, Inner City Press live tweeted his sentencing, to 25 years.

On May 28 Salame was "sentenced to 90 months."

On August 21, Salame filed that "the Government used the plea negotiations to threaten Salame’s domestic partner and the mother of his child, Michelle Bond." Full filing on Patreon here.

 On August 22, after Inner City Press published a curtain raiser on Michelle Bond being presented in SDNY Mag court, it happened, from the thread:

Judge: You have been indicted on four counts. Do you understand them?

Bond: Yes, your Honor.

AUSA Sweat: We propose release on $1 million bond, 1 financially responsible co-signer

Judge: I accept those conditions, travel restricted to the continental US

After the US filed a letter that her case is factually related to the SBF and Salame case, her new lawyers from a New Jersey based firm replied that no, and if the respective courts consider transferring the case, "Ms. Bond requests an opportunity to be heard."
